Those counter strike bots didn't know what hit'em!

Is he injured again? He's not made a single appearance for them yet.

You're just jealous that @Steve loves me more!

Can't I like both? They're not exactly mutually exclusive.

Go away, Steve is mine!

No, it really didn't because Ryan's performance against Cardiff was better than most of Ash's performances this season.

Back to Mata. Please.

Tbh, I don't mind the rotation in the front four. We have a lot of attacking players and a lot of games, you'll need all of them in form. As for the chemistry, I think Jose is trying to build a system where anyone of our players can come in or go out of the side with minimal effect.

This looks really likely to happen. Always good to have more young talent in the squad...and more Germans!

It's not exactly showing respect, especially if you go on to call him naive arrogant and insult and dismiss his opinion. Would you be happy if people call you grandpa and old fart because of your age and just dismiss your opinion by calling you ignorant and a dinosaur? Anyway, you've single handedly managed to destroy this thread with petty insults and disrespect. Make sure that never happens again. Locked.

He's alive. He's ALIVE!! Played 90 mins as Valencia beat St. Gallen 5-1 at home.

FIFA 14. First thing I did was beat City 2-0!

My friends say I'm such a quitter. Could never underst...

I think he's one of the top talents we have in the academy. I think technically he's one of the best players I've seen at his age so it was only normal that we tie him down to a contract before other teams come snooping around. But I very much doubt that he'll be going on loan anywhere before at least two years.

Yet you still resorted to childish insults.. It's not a matter of personal preference of what we want to ignore, but rather a matter of forum rules and what type of discussion we, the staff, wish have on the forum. I don't want to derail this thread anymore, so I'll end by asking you again to try be respectful to the people you are debating with and to avoid insulting them or their opinions. Thanks.

If anyone cannot back his arguments and brings false information, then it should be very easy for you to refute his claims without having to resort to petty things like insulting and disrespecting him or his opinions.

Old fart...

Not really the point. Those are footballing opinions; meaning there is no right and wrong. If there were only one thing that is known to be right and everything else was wrong, there would be no need for football forums to have discussions on and none of us would be here. What there is right and wrong in, is members conduct on the forum; and that'e because we have clear rules that decide what is right and what is wrong. So please try to discuss in the "right" way.

Happy birthday @NishC300

I know you're new here, but you need to respect people and their opinions. If you can't debate respectfully then don't at all. Personal insults are not tolerated on this forum.

What? He's often not a starter with our youth team!

I think Willian will start indeed, but at the expense of Schurrle who's ankle still seems to be bothering him.

Playing with 12 men will definitely give us an edge. Wonder why Jose didn't think of it before! No chance, imo. Hazard and Oscar are nailed on starters.

That's not really the case, though. I've been criticizing Jose on various subjects and decisions since he came back, but I said he knows best regarding this, not because he is Mourinho, but because we were talking about who is physically better. So I said Jose knows better because he gets to see the players train in the gym and make sprints and other physical trainings that we can't see in games. If we were talking about technical ability or any other skill I would not have sad so.

Who I think we should play: Cech Iva-Luiz-JT-Bertrand Rami-Mikel Hazard-Oscar-Schurrle Ba Who I think Jose will play: Cech Iva-Cahill-JT-Azpi Rami-Lamps Willian-Oscar-Hazard Eto'o That's why I'm pessimistic about this match.
